Primary text
When a group jointly develops and channels a water source, they own the source and its channels proportional to their investment and labor, similar to previous discussions. However, the water itself remains unowned (Mubah) because it enters their private domain, analogous to game entering one's orchard.

The stronger of two narrations suggests that the water itself remains unowned despite the ownership of the source structure.
